Do you remember the Spice Girls, the real question is have you ever forgotten them. how could you? with all the joy they brought you, platform sneaks, sparkly baby doll dresses, all that zigga zig ahh they did. Well because musicals of jute are so popular, a musical theatre extravaganza based on the Spice Girls and their music is being created by Mamma Mia! producer Judy Craymer, plans are to mount a production on the West End, with broadway plans to follow shortly.
American Idol producer and former Spice Girls manager Simon Fuller (who if you ask me needs to team up with disney and just take over the world) has announced the collaboration. the musical is tentatively being called Viva Forever (one of the singles off of their 1998 album)
Our ladies dominated the pop charts for all of the 90's with their catchy diddys, glamtastic costumes, and girl power anthems
Craymer hopes to do with the Spice Girls' repertoire what she did with Abba's hits for Mamma Mia! — string together a group of songs with a story line and create a worldwide theatre hit. She has said, "I want to create a unique celebration of the band and its music, with its own flavour and joyful message. It is important to me that the excitement, style and humour of the Spice Girls is well represented on stage."
Judy Craymer produced both the stage and screen versions of Mamma Mia (so we know it will be campy and sparkly, and words strung together that kind of resemble a plot, but not really... we know better!) She will work with Fuller to create the West End Spice Girls production. She has said that it may take anywhere from two to three years to mount the production... and that is totally ok by me, take your time and make it great.
can i see it yet?!?!
